Locomotive-Sickening Scene After the
Iron Horse Had Passed.
STREAIoR, ILL.,, July 22-At $50 Thurs
day morning the entire city was aroused by
a most terrific explosion, which was imme-
distely followed by the ringing of the fire
bell. In few minutes it was ascertained
that the powder-house of the Chicago, vii
mington & Vermilion Coal company had been
struck by lightning and between 5000 and
10000 pounds of dynamite had exploded, a
carload having been slowed there a short
time before.
On arriving upon the scene a terrible sight
presented itself Every dwelling upon the
south and west sides of the powder-house had
been completely shattered, and in most cases
entirely demolished Not veStige of the
powder house remains, while where it stood
is an excavation about sixty feet long, forty
feet wide and twenty feet deep.
Rescuing parties were formed and search
for the dead and injured began. Strange
as it may seem. only one fatality has been re
ported But a large number are seriously
injured Among the wounded are; Mary
Loveright, hip broken; James Blackmore
hurt in back; Mrs Blackmore, several ribs
broken; Mrs James Sheldon, three rib:
broken; Mrs Thomas Bridwel, badly cut by
flying glass; Mrs, Hattie Reaschon, an aged
widow, struck over the eye with brick and
badly injured. A tramp, who was stopping
in car near the powder house, was probably
fatally injured. The number of minor casu
alties will reach nearly 100
There were forty five dwellings almost to
tally destroyed, and there is not plate-glas

pauy under the acts of congress of March 3,
1863 and July ", 1886. The commissioner
finds that the company is not entitled to in
demnity for losses within its granted limits
by reason of prior grants and reservations to
the United States by competent authority
for the purpose of aiding in any object of
internal Improvement, or other purpose what
ever On this basis he finds that an excess
2293, 43; acres over the amount legally due has
been certified and patented for the benefit of
the road. The company claims indemnity
for all losses within its granted limits, no
matter how occasioned, and should this claim
be allowed the company would still be emit
tied to 504,042 acres. The commissioner
recommends to Secretary Lamar that legal
proceedings be instituted to recover to the
government this excess. If this decision be
sustained it will control in adjustments of all

Gevoured them, and they died before the Lord.
Then Moses said unto Aaroh. This is it
that the Lord spake, saying, will be sanctified
in them that came nigh me, and before all the
people will be glorified. And Aaron held his
peace.
And Moses called Mishael and E1zaphan,
the sons of Uzziel and uncle of Aaron, and said
unto them, Come near, carry your brethren
from before the sanctuary oul of the camp.
So they went near, and carried them in
their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.
6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Flea
and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not
your heads, neither reud your clothes; lest ye
die, and lest wrath come upon all the people; ;
but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel,
bewail the burning which the Lord hath
kindled.
And ye shall not go out from the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die:
for tue amounting oil of the Lord is upon you.
Aud they did according 10 the word of Moses.
And the Lord spake unto Aaron saying,
Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou,
nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the
tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it
shall be statute forever throughout your gen.
erations:
10 And that ye may put difference between
holy and nnholy, and between unclean and
clean
IL And that ye may teach the children of
Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath
spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

PLACE.-MountS Sinai.

The law had been given and the tabernacle
set up. Moses and his four sons had been con-
secrated to the Priesthood. The supposition is
that Nadab and Abihu two Of these sons became
Intoxicated, which angered the Lord against
them, that is called down the vengeance of out
ragged law, and they were destroyed. Then fol-
lowed the prohibition, by Divine command. A
very clear and strong distinction is drawn be-
tween the holy and unholy as connected with
the use of strong drink. Not only were this
generation to refrain from its use, but the pro-
hibition was to extend on down the genera
tions, and all Israel were to be taught the evils
of the use of strong drink. Such an order as
that, in this late day, and emanating from
temporal authority, would be considered a
great abridgement of personal liberty, and a
great degradation of manhood. So perhaps,
tn ese priests thought so long ago. But the law
of the Lord was against them, and they per-
ished. There is in this the lesson for us that it
is at all times dangerous to tamper with strong
drink. 1t can encompass no good result, it is
all bad, utterly, eternally bad. 1t is contrary
to the human conscience. There has been
placed in every man that which tells him that
science may be smothered, but such course
could not lessen the danger the RESPONSE
bility. The intoxication of Nadab and Abihu
caused them to offer strange fire unto the Lord.
Such is the conduct of every man who poisons
and burns the body with strong drink. The
law of God requires clean, upright, righteous
life. None other will be pleasing, none other
will be safe.

Where Is the Old Flag ?
A REBEL BATTLE FLAG CAPTURED In
JACKSON COUNTY

AS all the captured battle flags are
to be called in and handed over to
their former owners, by President
Cleveland, there is one flag which we
are interested in the fate Of, and
which should be sent on to Washing
ton by its custodians, wherever they
may be. This flag was carried in the
professions Of the Vallandigham Ar
mics in Jackson county, in 1868, and
was shortly thereafter captured and
spirited away. It was white flag,
bearing the notices: "God is our
King-We be Brethren" The CEN
tral attraction was the form of a bird.
Those making the banner were in
structed to place dove upon it, but
after carefully considering the effect
of the war upon good many North
ern Democrats, they concluded that a
goose would be more appropriate
emblem. So they put goose upon
the banner, and thus it appeared.
Some Black Republican has evi-

and refuses to disgorge. But it ought
to be sent back with the rest. If the
